AT the meeting of the Tennessee
Press Association, at Cloudland, in
July, a resolutionsimilar to the above
was adopted by a large majority vote.
During the above noted meeting of
the Press Association, a meeting of a
representative number of Middle
Tennessee Publishers was held for
consultation with regard to forming
an association of Middle Tennessee
Publishers similar to that effected last
fall by the publishers of West Ten
nessee. Archie Thomas, of the
Springfield Record, was made Chair
man, and R. M. Reams, of the Nc
Minnville Standard, Secretary.
1t was agreed that a meeting be
called in Nashville early in October,
to organize "The Middle Tennessee
Publishers Association" Messrs. H.
A. Haslock and A. j. Grigsby were
appointed to secure a place for the
meeting in Nashville, and the Chair
man and Secretary authorized to fix
date and call the meeting.
In accordance with the foregoing,
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18th, 1887,
has been fixed for the meeting, and
every publisher in Middle Tennessee
is earnestly requested to attend and
participate in the proceedings. The
meeting will be held in the editorial
rooms of the "National Review"
over Jesse Ely's, Cherry Street, OPP
posite Maxwell House.
This organization is'sTRICTLY FOR
BUSINESS" We hope by united ac-
ton on the part of all the publishers
of Middle Tennessee to secure better
and more uniform rates for advertis.
ing, to protect ourselves, against the
fraudulent schemes of some advertis.
ing agents, and to advance our inter.
ests in any other way the association
may see proper.
Middle Tennessee papers will please
publish this call, and make such edi.
torial comment as they deem proper
Also, please notify the Secretary
whether or not the paper will be rep

Texas Prohibitionists.

Nashville Banner.
The state prohibition central COM
mittee of Texas, which recently met
in Waco, decided-so it is reported
in a dispatch from that place-to re-
commend the maintenance of the
state organization on a strictly nom
partisan basis, disclaiming any con-
nection with any of the existing par
ties, and leaving the prohibitionists
to use their own judgements inside
their respective political party organ
izations. 1t is stated, however, that
the democratic members of the COM
mittee concede that the vote on Aug.
4th settled the question of constitu-
tional prohibition or regulation of
the liquor traffic, at least for years to
come. They will ~deprecate any at
tempt, at least in the near future to
have the question as a constitutional
amendment submitted to a popular
vote, but they say they will not
cease their opposition to the liquor
traffic, and will openly oppose any
effort upon the part of a state demo
cratic convention to insert an anti
prohibition plank in the party plat
form.

MorristoWn Gazette: The disease
prevailing among the cats in our
town and surrounding country, to
which The Gazette called attention
last week, is undated and may yet
become a serious matter. A promi-

children are in danger of contracting
the disease from the cats affected
with it.

Bright Prospects.

New York Times.
In addition to having the biggest
cotton crop this year that ever has
been known, the South will have the
further advantage of being nearer out
of debt than at any time since the
war. Records show that not only
was there a general and big reduction
of mortgages on farm lands all over
the South last year, but Southern
business men lately in New York say
that their farmers have been able to
make this crop without having to
worry over anything like the ordi-
nary needs of "advances." Millions
of dollars for cash will be ready for
investment by Southerners just as
soon as this cotton crop is marketed.
Morristown Gazette: When a par
ty in the eastdesires to locate or invest
in the South or West, the first thing he
does is to send for a copy of the local
paper. When he receives the paper
he forms his idea of the town from
the appearance of the paper more
than from what it says. IF he sees a
paper with a large advertising patron
age he knows that paper is published
in a live, wide-a-wake town. If he
sees a paper filled with patent medi-
cine advertisements, he knows the
business men are joining the funeral
procession. A live, well patronized
newspaper is an index to a thriving
town.
